Carrollton, GA. - Five West Georgia cheerleaders helped lead Team USA's All-Girl squad to a World Championship at the International Cheer Union World Cheerleading Championship at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla.

The five athletes that represented UWG and Team USA were Jordan Harron, Catie Callen, Haley Marr, Kayla Basak, and Trey Forsyth. They were members of a 36-person team and earned a spot via a tryout.

Cheerleaders from Indiana, Alabama, Oklahoma State, NC State, Morehead State, BYU, Hofstra, and Hawaii Pacific were also included while over 60 countries were represented in the championships.

In preparation of ICU Worlds, the team condensed ten months of training into ten days, a grueling mental and physical test that ultimately pulled them closer together and led to victory.
